Abstract

Linux offers a low cost, rapid-prototyping capability for integrated modular avionics (IMA) applications, but moving these prototypes to a deploy able ARINC 653 partitioned system presents many challenges to a developer. This paper discusses the steps needed to migrate an OpenGL-based graphic application from a Linux prototype to a working ARINC 653 IMA platform. It makes use of Wind River´s VxWorks 653 operating systems utilizing Seaweed software´s certifiable OpenGL product. An example will be discussed of this software running on VxWorks 653 using PowerPC hardware with a Radstone PMC graphics adapter.
